Unit 5.2A Assignment

List the URL, what the tool is, and why you find it useful using the wiki template page. No duplication allowed-each page must be an original new tool.

Educational Uses of Site

I think the sight would b excellent for older students. I wouldn't be able to utilize it in my room, but if students had a few other peers they were doing a project with, they could use the site to talk to each other while they are all home. Also , teachers could upload power points

Description of Site:

Vyew is a great website for older students to collaborate with their teacher and each other. I did not like that I had to pay a dollar to use it. If students are taught correctly how to use it, it can be a great teaching tool to help teachers connect with their students.
